The Spectral Enigma of Ghost Train is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Rebbecca Drothow with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 14.761 billion Ghost Trainians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spectral. The average income tax rate is 36.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Ghost Trainian economy, worth a remarkable 1,927 trillion lightbulbs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 130,563 lightbulbs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians, saying "don't do anything that Rebbecca Drothow wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal, community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, and international tensions are high as Ghost Train threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ghost Train's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Violetism.

Ghost Train is ranked 70,622nd in the world and 2nd in Top Hat Kingdom for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,187.07 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
